Channel 4

[#1]

anyone had problems streaming channel 4 live ?
i get this everytime

[#2]

Can't be bothered to sign up.  But BBC iPlayer and ITV live players work.

I get the same on channel 4 - but 4 Music plays OK!

[#4]

i used to be able to watch on TVcatchup.com , but now it just redirects to Channel4 

[#5]

@rongtw - same thing here. Other TV catch-up services play just fine.

So it must be Channel 4 problem

Actually, I've sussed this - using Firefox 24, doesn't work. Using IE11, does work. Found that by disabling AdBlock+ in Firefox, stream worked. You can re-enable AdBlock+ once the initial advert starts, and the stream will continue to play.

  nice one Jaggies works for me now Disable adblock 

[#9]

Actually, you can just disable it for the Channel 4 page from the Tools menu in Firefox - Tools-> Adblock Plus-> Disable on this page only. Saves you from having to remember to do it every time.
I guess it was only a matter of time before some catch-up TV site figured out how to stop viewers dodging adverts, although this appears to be the only one so far. I wonder if Adblock Plus will be updated to suit - I suspect the issue will need to be reported to them before that happens...

yup jaggies  did that allow for this page only ,but i hate to have all the adverts
